Great vid as always. I once stayed in a hotel in Philly. My room did not come with a Donner record player. But the room next to me must have included one as they played side B all night long.
Sometimes when my upstairs neighbor won’t stop practicing the same metal guitar riff for an hour I play Merzbow really loudly and just close the door and go to the other side of the apartment.
I feel like, at the point that Emily is laughing so hard she’s crying, the record has won. Also playing stuff through pedals like that made me rly happy.
Hahaha that's hilarious, I did not expect the Gerogerigegege to show up here. At least you avoided the track that's literally just a recording of someone taking a dump :D (And for what it's worth they also made some really good non-gross ambient, check out ">(decrescendo) Final Chapter" if you're curious)
HAHAHAH WAIT WHAT THEY HAVE A POOPING SONG?!?!? 😂♡ I already thought they were weird enough for having this 6-minute track of a guy moaning while trying to hold in his sneeze...
That phone call mangling was almost something akin to musique concrète :-D Put it on a tape and slice it to bits, put it together again and play it back at different speeds 😛
This is one of the funniest videos you've ever done - I honestly laughed so much that I wasn't even making sound any more. It was both sublime and ridiculous. I'd recommend the album 'Moog Plays the Beatles' by Marty Gold to run through that pedal; it could only be an improvement.
Oh lord hahaha Although if I know this channel's trajectory, now it's Emily going "what is this??!" and soon she'll be doing her own Merzbow and Melt Banana covers. Can't wait! I liked the post rock Nanna too
you guys are a joy ✨ fun fact: i ordered a custom overdrive pedal off of Etsy (from Spain) while at at a local show last night hahaha. the world we live in wow. anyways, I’m excited to try it on my flute - thanks for always inspiring 🥰
You’re always consistently demoing new and interesting gear that makes me think, “Oh, that would be cool to play around with!” Or “Oh, if I had one of those I could do [insert idea here]”. Keep on making these vids!
Omg I’ve watched a documentary on that type of noise Japanese music so when you read it I’m like OMG she has no idea hahaha and then it was exactly that music and we laughed our asses off! Then the Aux through microcosm! Ahh! That’s handy! The calls with the mix knob high is also a great use hahaha this was great!
OMG, that Gerogerigegege album is really... something. Just read their Wikipedia article if you want the full WTF?! experience. Like, people are into this stuff? The whole Japanese noise scene was really out there, like Hanatarash who bulldozed a venue with the audience and band still inside,
Hey Emily! Its been a while since I've seen one of your videos and I've really missed them. Its really exciting to see you experimenting with different styles and the things youre interested in. I love your hair too, you look awesome! 😁
Best video ever! It was made even better by Larry David looking on in disgust behind you. P.S. Was the phone call about adopting from North Shore Animal League? I grew up on Long Island and remember seeing their commercials as a kid.
HAHAH YES IT WAS 😂😂😂 and I'm happy to report that Nana DID adopt her puppy from there!!! I'm so happy you noticed the Larry David portrait hahaha my good friend and amazing harpist & artist Naomi SV on TH-cam drew it for me! :)
There is nothing on that record as horrific as the sound Emily makes with her knuckles at 3:51 Also now hoping for some Techmoan/Emily collaboration videos
This made me laugh. I'm not currently in the market to buy a record player (But I think it would be so cool to get one! Says the 90's child raised on cassettes and cds). However it's nice to know about my options if I decide the time is right. :P Thanks for the fun review!
You guys have incredible skill, creativity, awesome output and ideas but the humor and banter is what really makes this channel such a treat. I'm nerdy enough to enjoy the pedals for the subject matter alone even if I prefer VSTs but this way I come here when I need cheering up.
Oh gosh, as soon as I saw that record player in the background I realized that it's the same cheapest possible mechanism that is in all the cheap crap record players. Why, Donner? Why? Why do you even bother? There are tens of other companies selling the exact same shit.
Super easy to sell those to hipsters that don't actually know anything about vinyl but that it's cool since those kinds of people have done zero research on how to build a setup that will actually sound good and not abuse your records.
Thank You* Emily ! Countless boring and anesthetic record have been released every year since 1952. I am very happy to discover the Gerogerigegege who provide actual feelings ! :D
The laughter on this video is infectious. For some reason many years ago I told myself I should make an effort to appreciate noise rock (free jazz too). It didn't work so I gave up. 😀
@@emilyharpist What about now? 😆 When I first started listening to noise back in the early 90s it took a little while before I found the particular style that really clicked, for me it was Phlegm Bag Spattered from Controlled Bleeding. I had already been listening to a wide variety of music at the time and was into more low-keyed weirdo experimental music, mostly more academic sort of compositions and INA-GRM styled electroacoustic/acousmatic sort of work. I had picked up a used vinyl copy of The Haters album In The Shade Of Fire having no idea what sort of music it was beforehand, and was very intrigued by the sounds I heard, so much so I made a cassette copy and would sometimes let it loop continously while I was driving, people definitely had questions, LOL! Anyway, that kind of helped set my course, and in '95 I started doing my own noise project which I've done for the past 27 years!
hahaha gero geri gegege is kidna like "pukeeee diarrheaaaaa scaryyyyy" in english. i'm always amazed at how you can find funny stuff like this. really enjoyed the video!
@@emilyharpist It's like ambient music's misunderstood cousin. And like ambient music it's often more about the textures, feelings, and moments rather than the whole sum of the pieces themselves. But it is a lot harder to fall asleep to.
Oh man, I hadn’t heard of the George…whatever since the early 90s when I was on a mailing list for experimental music where there were a bunch of people into Japanese noise like Merzbow. I’ve actually never heard their “music” before. …oh damn, I just got to the part where you’re running an album through Microcosm. BRILLIANT!
I bought this vinyl because of this video. I have to have the "best" and the "worst" of all kinds if music. Thank you for the recommendation. The album cover and insert are hilarious.
You can tell where the track on an album starts by looking at the album itself and looking at the grooves in the album. Where a track starts, you will be able to tell just by looking at it. Just take a look and you will see what I mean. I also am pretty sure most record players have 3 speeds. When everyone else got a CD player in the 90's, I got gifted a record player that was used. It had 2 tape decks, an 8-track player and AM/FM radio and I loved that thing. Unfortunately the belt started to go and I didn't have money to put into it and couldn't handle listening to The Beatles sounding slowed down and thankfully neither could my parents 😂 I got a CD player for Christmas that year but.... and don't get me wrong, I love CD's and still use them too but... I miss having a record player and think it's high time I got a new one! Something is definitely wrong with me though, I am going to look up this Audio Shock album now so I can listen to it and decide if it's even worse than I am expecting it to be in it's entirety. I have to listen to it to find that out!! 😂 I am a little scared after watching what your ears endured here but still curious. 🙂
Love your channel. When 'tap delay' became a thing in the 90's we would use it on the stereo as well. lf you can set it correctly its fun to hear albums like the Beatles or the Stones with a tad of legit echo. We used a pair of Digitech 2120 Artist to do this back then.
This is probably the most substantive and useful review of a record player I have ever witnessed. Please let your assistant know that I will check out his favorite record! #freearchitecturalmusic

Great vid as always. I once stayed in a hotel in Philly. My room did not come with a Donner record player. But the room next to me must have included one as they played side B all night long.
LMFAOOO omg you really just made me laugh out loud hahah thank you so much for that!!! I needed a great laugh today 😂😂😂
This is great, it's like you're pranking your audience with noise music, which is basically my whole career
😂 😂
Sometimes when my upstairs neighbor won’t stop practicing the same metal guitar riff for an hour I play Merzbow really loudly and just close the door and go to the other side of the apartment.
That will do it!
Which album?
LMAOOO I love it ♡😂
That's basically a Boris With Merzbow album.
I just love The Gerogerigegege , great japanese noise
I feel like, at the point that Emily is laughing so hard she’s crying, the record has won.
Also playing stuff through pedals like that made me rly happy.
Oh, you can never go wrong with The Gerogerigegege. Am I weird for knowing their name well enough not having to double check spelling?...
HAHAH I'm finally at the point where I can spell their name without Googling it so I guess I'm weird too ♡😂
Yes you are weird, and that's a wonderful thing
Yea. A bit. And that’s fine
yes
The Gerogerigegege , just excellent surpreme Japanese noise 😎🥳
I just love them 😍
Hahaha that's hilarious, I did not expect the Gerogerigegege to show up here.
At least you avoided the track that's literally just a recording of someone taking a dump :D
(And for what it's worth they also made some really good non-gross ambient, check out ">(decrescendo) Final Chapter" if you're curious)
LOL Why does that idea for a track not surprise me? Jeez...
HAHAHAH WAIT WHAT THEY HAVE A POOPING SONG?!?!? 😂♡ I already thought they were weird enough for having this 6-minute track of a guy moaning while trying to hold in his sneeze...
@@emilyharpist You "think" that's what he's doing ;) I believe they had a reputation for "exposure".
@@emilyharpist bahahahahahaha. "Sneezing" is a great way to explain that.
Bringing joy and laughter to my Sunday morning... not the music, just Emily's reaction to the record she picked...
Thanks, y'all 🙏 be good to you
hahah thank you so much, Scott!! 🥰♡
At 2:25 I had just taken a huge swig of coffee. So proud that I managed to neither choke on it nor spit it out. It was…a struggle.
HAHAHA I am so proud of you, too 😂♡
Well done!
genuinely love this kind of music unironically, thank you for introducing gerogerigegege to me
ahhh I'm so glad!!! :) ♡
The Gerogerigegege , just excellent Japanese noise 😎🥳
TH-cam will show you their great compositions & videos 😍
Did I say Compositions ???? UUUH , decompositions , but I like them !!!!
Donner has a great taste for musicK 😍
it is refreshing to listen to after starting your day with Beatles
same the first side I actually liked
"I wanna find my favorite song, hold on..." Judging by your reaction, you found it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAOOO I swear it wasn't planned at all, I did NOT expect that sound... 😂
now thats some quality music
glass and the phone call actually sounded pretty interesting with the effects pedal :D
That phone call mangling was almost something akin to musique concrète :-D Put it on a tape and slice it to bits, put it together again and play it back at different speeds 😛
😂 exactly! It was so hard not to laugh hahaha
This is one of the funniest videos you've ever done - I honestly laughed so much that I wasn't even making sound any more. It was both sublime and ridiculous. I'd recommend the album 'Moog Plays the Beatles' by Marty Gold to run through that pedal; it could only be an improvement.
One of my favourite records - and the only "Beatles" record I own. I think it was the first record I ever bought.
@@TDRKB - it's a favourite of mine as well. A hugely underrated classic.
I have never laughed so hard at a review. I love you two!
hahah we love u too
That was the hardest I’ve laughed for a while! Keep up the great content!
hahah thank you so much!! :) ♡
Oh lord hahaha
Although if I know this channel's trajectory, now it's Emily going "what is this??!" and soon she'll be doing her own Merzbow and Melt Banana covers. Can't wait! I liked the post rock Nanna too
😂 post rock nana is my fav

10/10 would watch an overdriven flute video
YESSSSS!!!! Please upload a video of it when you try it out!! I'd love to hear that!! 🥰♡

HAHAH I KNOW I read some of the Wiki and was DYING 😂♡
What a great video! My favorite part is when you plugged in the effects machine, that was so cool!
But the first album...what the....?
HAHAH I know, it's definitely an ultra strange album!! 😂♡
Hey Emily! Its been a while since I've seen one of your videos and I've really missed them. Its really exciting to see you experimenting with different styles and the things youre interested in. I love your hair too, you look awesome! 😁
Ahhh thank you so much, Aidan!! :) ♡ I really appreciate that!! thanks for being here with us
@@emilyharpist Awww youre always welcome, Emily! You and your channel bring me a lot of joy :)
Always spaces between tracks on the record. Just look at the grooves. Love you two!
Thank you!!! Lmao I couldn’t believe I didn’t know that 😂
Best video ever! It was made even better by Larry David looking on in disgust behind you. P.S. Was the phone call about adopting from North Shore Animal League? I grew up on Long Island and remember seeing their commercials as a kid.
HAHAH YES IT WAS 😂😂😂 and I'm happy to report that Nana DID adopt her puppy from there!!!
I'm so happy you noticed the Larry David portrait hahaha my good friend and amazing harpist & artist Naomi SV on TH-cam drew it for me! :)
You went all Longmont Potion Castle with the phone call, Love it!
This is the weirdest review channel ever and I LOVE it! LOL
HAHAH I feel like we're just getting weirder and weirder 😂♡
I think you need to do a tribute to that first album with your harp and capture your laughter at hearing this wonderful music to replace the "vocals".
HAHAH I actually love this idea 😂♡
Oh god that phone call killed me! I'm dead!
😂♡
Glad you are getting into noise music :) You should try some with harp!
"Directed by David Lynch"
😂♡
There is nothing on that record as horrific as the sound Emily makes with her knuckles at 3:51
Also now hoping for some Techmoan/Emily collaboration videos
LMFAOOO every time I crack my knuckles at a harp gig I gotta do it FAR AWAY from everybody 😂♡
Thank you for making me laugh out loud :) It's been a while and I really needed it.

😊 thanks for being here!
The snark in this video is so potent, I'm surprised you were able to actually review anything in it. Wonderfully done!
This Sakamoto-album sounds outstanding, thank you for the inspiration.
Sadly, the dp-100 is probably only available in the US?

Thank you
on each video you publish.
The Gerogerigege and Ryuichi Sakamoto are sooo awesome. Love your content
That phone call 😂😂
lmaooo I love my nana
I don’t know what I was expecting from that first album but I was laughing hysterically in the end. Great review 👍🏻
The laughter on this video is infectious. For some reason many years ago I told myself I should make an effort to appreciate noise rock (free jazz too). It didn't work so I gave up. 😀
HAHAH I'm trying to listen to other harsh noise bands too in the genre... I don't think I understand it enough yet

Wow, I can't wait for a full album harp cover of this amazing record!
STAY TUNED
Come for the noise, stay for the trippy phone call.
Lou Reed’s “ Metal Machine Music “ now sounds like a lullaby.
Lmao I need to check that one out next!!! I just heard about it yesterday!
hahaha gero geri gegege is kidna like "pukeeee diarrheaaaaa scaryyyyy" in english. i'm always amazed at how you can find funny stuff like this. really enjoyed the video!
Damn I never thought I'd see The Gerogerigegege of all bands pop up here! Legit one of my favourite Japanese Noise bands.
They’re legends!!!!
Record time with Emm and Russ: IDIGGIT! 🦄
I am going to go find that record now, just to gift it to a friend so thank you.
LMAO glad I could help
amazing fun. Tyanks Emily. iblaughed heaps, thanks for sharing.
hahah thank you so much for watching, Robyn!! I really appreciate you being here! 🥰♡
I can hear some Merzbow influences. Beautiful music! Also, The Contortionist? You've got some good taste.
Yes! More records through effects pedals please.
Definitely!!!
This video brought me back to my noise/Japanoise/Merzbow days. :') Thanks for the ear bleeding memories.
hahaha you're so welcome 😂♡ I'm trying to get into Merzbow now but I juST CAN'T I DON'T GET IT

LMAOOO she's a great sport 😂♡
Ahaha reminds me of the time I saw Japanese noise rock band Melt Banana open up for Tool. I was in shock 🤣🤣🤣
Melt Banana rules though!
😂♡ I STILL NEED TO LISTEN TO THEM
Reminds me that I need to get a copy of Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music", which has been described as a double album of guitar feedback.
“Audio Shock”!? Whoa! Too much for me. That was way beyond Avant-garde to me.
hahaha SAME 😂♡

This is almost like you gave a 12 year old the choice of record
Oh my GOD. I'm a Gero fanatic and seeing this on your channel just burned a hole in my brain.

Thank you for the recommendation. The album cover and insert are hilarious.
Can't stop smiling every time you lose yourself :D This must be my favorite video of yours after the Fart Pedal video
hahah thank you so much! 😂♡ I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🥰
I’m sat here thinking - hey there’s the microcosm. And then it all made sense. Kinda.
That record sounds very much like the noises in my head.
😂 😆
Before I clicked this video I was shaking in my boots, scared that you were going to pull out Wang Chung's Everybody Have Fun Tonight. 😅 whew!
HAHAHAH OH MAN I MISSED SUCH A GREAT OPPORTUNITY 😂♡

hahah I'm turning into a big shit-poster now 😂♡
I was drinking coffee when the um... ecstatic moaning began. The coffee definitely started working its way out my nose.

Was not expecting that level of hilarity :D much noise, such fun
